As I’ve stated before, horror pins seem to be all of the rage nowadays and I myself have bought into the hype both figuratively and literally. But what about the good old horror days, when buttons or pins were made to help promote a movie? Case in point – the 1997 movie Wishmaster. What would you do if you could own a promotional pin from that film? Or wait – what if you could own TEN promotional pins?!?!

Yesssssssss. Someone on eBay is selling 10 promotional pins from Wishmaster. You’re gonna have to be a pretty hardcore Wishmaster fan to snag these up, but I’m sure there is someone out there who can’t get enough of Djinn! Maybe you can buy them and try and use them as quarters too. But anyway – if you want to be the proud owner of this lot of Wishmaster pins, then follow the link HERE and snatch them up for $10. Sidenote: I’m not sure why the listing has the word ‘Vampire‘ in it. Clearly this seller has never seen the movie. For shame! I wish for you to be banned from selling Wishmaster merchandise.

I have found myself falling into this collector ‘pin craze’ that’s been going on lately (thanks in large part to Creepy Company), so because of that I also find myself searching eBay from random promotional pins from yesteryear. And upon a recent search……I found this!

Truth be told, I am a Tales From The Crypt junkie. I love anything and everything that has to do with the comics, the show, and The Cryptkeeper. And the movie Demon Knight might be one of my favorite ‘fun’ horror movies ever. Sooooooo – not a huge surprise that my trigger finger is itchy to snatch up this pin off of eBay. But before I do, I am going to give you the reader the chance to snatch it up before me because that’s the kind of guy I am. I care about the horror people. So, if you would like to grab it like a rabbit, then head on over to the listing HERE and it can be yours for less than $10 (including shipping). Enjoy, boys and ghouls!

It hasn’t been proven, but I might have a lot of readers who are 6-years-old and younger. And for all of my youngsters out there, who now that I think about it shouldn’t be reading my blog, have I got a treat for you! If you want to scare the shit out of your babysitter around Halloween, you can now get your grubby hands on a replica of the clown mask that a young Michael Myers wore in the original Halloween.

All jokes aside, this is a mask for adults and is an adult size mask. And it comes in three different versions: clean, weathered, and bloody. The one in the image is the weathered version. It’s hand painted onto very strong plastic and a protective coat is also applied. The detail is pretty amazing, although the price is a bit steep at $60. It does include free shipping though and no two masks will be the same since they’re handmade. If you’re interested in picking one up, you can do so right HERE. Happy Halloween!

One of my favorite sequels to the original A Nightmare On Elm Street is easily A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors. And one of my favorite scenes from that sequel is when Freddy turns Phillip into a human marionette. But before Freddy does that, he himself is a little marionette before he turns into actual Freddy. And guess what? Someone has created a replica of ‘Marionette Freddy’ and is selling him on eBay!

Now, if you go to the eBay listing HERE, you can see more pics. Unfortunately, not much more info is given (other than the buyer uses bad punctuation), so you’re buying a bit blindly here unless you want to contact the seller. From the pics though, this looks like a top notch replicate of the marionette in the movie. The price is a bit steep at $390, but given the detail and time it most likely took to make this – it might be worth it. If I were to buy this, I would be slightly worried that it would come alive in the middle of the night and I would wind up on top of the roof at my building falling to my untimely slumber death……..

Well, it’s the summertime and as the late Glenn Frey would say…..the heat is on! There are a lot of ways to beat the heat: a dip in the pool, rubbing ice cubes all over your body, eating some delicious ice cream, and buying a promotional 30 Days Of Night beanie.

Yeah – probably not going to really keep you cool, but you will be really stylish while you’re dripping buckets of sweat from wearing a beanie in 100 degree weather. Although uneven, I actually enjoyed 2007’s vampire flick 30 Days Of Night. So much so, that I almost clicked ‘Buy It Now‘ on the eBay listing for this promotional beanie.

If you are a bigger 30 Days Of Night fan than me, then head on over to the listing HERE and check it out. The asking price of $8 isn’t too shabby for what it is. I’ve spent money on a lot worse off of eBay before. And to get you in the mood, watch one of my favorite scenes from the movie below and feel free to shout out your best vampire screech while you’re at it:

From time to time, I like to post up ridiculously priced horror-related items that I find on eBay. This is one of those times. But who knows – maybe you won’t find the price all that ridiculous, and maybe you’ll even click the ‘Buy It Now‘ button on the listing after you read this? Especially if you’ve been looking for an 80’s Prism vending machine Toxic Avenger sticker!

Oh that shiny metallic border is pretty sharp. Now, I do remember the old school Prism sticker vending machines where you would slide a quarter in and get a surprise sticker from a particular entertainment genre. Unfortunately, I don’t really remember the horror ones, but you can take a stroll down memory lane HERE and check out what they had to offer.

Now let’s get back to business with this Toxic Avenger sticker that’s up on eBay. Guesses on the price? $20? $75? $100? Nope, nope, and nope. Try $200! Yes, this sticker is up for sale HERE on eBay for $200. Let that sink in and feel free to watch it and see if someone actually pays that amount. FYI – you can actually find some of the other Prism horror movie offerings on eBay for a much more reasonable price.

Well, there’s a first time for everything – and today’s first time is me writing about the killer rat movie Willard, a remake from 2003 of the 1971 original. And if you ever wondered if there were any promotional rubber rats that were given out to help promote the remake, feast your eyes on this:

Boom! No, that rubber rat is not playing dead – it’s just flipped over, thanks to the seller on eBay, to let you know that it’s legit. Gotta love that the website associated with Willard was ‘www.tearhimup.com‘ btw. Sadly it doesn’t exist anymore. But yes, this gem of a find is up on eBay right now if you go HERE. It’s a modest $31 right now, but you can make an offer if you wish. And rubber rats are always fun to try and play tricks on people that you don’t like. Sadly, Crispin Glover (the star of the movie) does not come with this promotional product. But if you would like your Crispin Glover fix, then please watch the clip below and feel free to emulate his funky dance moves……..

Damn right. That’s a promotional T-shirt from the 1988 movie Bad Dreams. Some would say it was a Nightmare On Elm Street knock-off, while others would say it’s an underrated 80’s gem. And others might also say that actor Richard Lynch was one of the creepiest looking human beings ever put on this Earth. Point is that you probably won’t ever see a Bad Dreams promotional T-shirt up for sale ever again. So if you’re an 80’s horror enthusiast, or maybe someone who just likes collecting random shit – head on over to the eBay link HERE and grab this while you can. It looks to be in good condition, which is always good for used piece of clothing.

So you’ve just moved into your new place. You’re looking for that special something to spruce it up and really make a statement for when you have people over for entertaining. Maybe a nice fern plant? A beautiful shag rug perhaps? Well, those are both great options, but if you really want to grab the attention of your visitors, why not go bold and add this to your living area:

Oh yeah! It’s perfect! Granted, your guests might immediately walk away from your new home or possibly curse at you, but I bet you’ll be the only one on the block with a Mountaintop Motel Massacre poster hanging on their wall. Yes, this 1986 terrible but entertaining slasher movie has it’s own unique charm – and also a pretty amazing poster to boot. And if you’ve got about $70 to spare, you can hit up eBay right HERE and grab it while it’s hot. You might want to wait for the price to drop a bit, but I guess you really can’t put a price on something this special anyway, right? That Evelyn is a real looker btw.

Who doesn’t love promotional buttons?!?!? Ok – I’m sure a lot of you don’t really love promotional buttons. But let’s just say for the sake of this post that you do. Well then, I found something amazing, but completely unnecessary on eBay today just for you!

You might think those just look like some normal promotional buttons from the 1992 horror movie Sleepwalkers…….and you would actually be right. Nothing too crazy going on here, but they do all have their own sense of flair. Sleepwalkers for all purposes is not a great movie. But it is enjoyable in a ‘crappy horror movie’ kind of way, and these buttons just add to the flavor of that crappiness.

It seems from two of the buttons that they were really trying to hype up Clovis The Cat too. These would make great random stocking stuffers for someone this holiday season, so if you’d like to get in on the action you can go HERE to place a bid. And after you do, you can come back and watch the one and only scene from a horror movie where someone gets killed by a corn cob.
